"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There might be some people thinking along those lines, but I'd be careful to tread into the territory of conspiracy theories. To me this seems a lot more like a case of "The bad implications are pretty obvious when you think about it - but we can't let that stand in the way of making a profit!".
Yeah it's definitely verging on conspiratorial. The data centre rush doesn't really make sense in any other context imo.
I feel like the mask western govs have been wearing for the last 50 years are slipping and the old cunts are still there and now they have this new tool.
Even before LLMs people were ringing the alarm bells about the inevitable tying together of disparate GOV DBs, AI just gave them a way of utilising the data that didn't exist before.
Unfortunately I feel like I will be completely vindicated on this one, and im not a conspiracy nut at all.
